Title: Liege & Lief - sales figures? Post by: Philip W on May 28, 2011, 09:27:47 AM Anyone have any idea what the sales figures are for Liege & Lief since it was released? I know it was awarded a "Gold Disc" in 2006.
A Gold Disc officially represents 100,000 sales to UK retailers on the BPI system: http://www.bpi.co.uk/certifiedawards/search.aspx But this Disc was awarded by the record company, "in recognition of the continuing phenomenal sales" of the album: http://www.richardthompson-music.com/catch_of_the_day.asp?id=597 Title: Re: Liege & Lief - sales figures?

Hence, if may have been a technically 'unofficial' Gold Disc if the REcord Company issued it.... Did seem a strange time to issue it, when sales must have been slow... |
